Cham's Addons (download links)

[Cham]

I finally have access to a good file server (thanks to Frank). So I'll post links to new addons here. Take note that I'll update the first message of this thread from time to time with some new links, so stay tuned. Expect LOTS of addons from here !

TRANSLATION NOTICE : All my addons are using some French strings (SSC, STC, DSC, and CELX files). I don't have time to translate everything to any other language, so it's the responsability of the user to edit the files by himself. Don't forget to open/save the files under the UTF-8 file format. Translation is up to you. The addons are free, so translation is a small fee to pay

All the addons published here were made with Celestia 1.6 in mind. Many of them are using the "layers" and "multi-layers" concept that I introduced some times ago, so the addons may not work properly with an older version of Celestia.

DISCLAIMER : I'm in no way responsible for any troubles you may experience on your computer, file lost, etc. Use at your own risk.

COPYRIGHT : All the addons published here are copyrighted works. You may NOT use the files from the addons for ANY commercial activities. The addons are available freely for personal uses and educational activities only.

Of course, feedback, opinions and suggestions are welcome here.

Have fun !

[ajtribick]

What exactly makes these add-ons so massively important that they need a sticky thread?

[Carl]

Cham's work is stellar. So for people like me, this is why the thread. Too bad the links are all dead. Disappointed I can't see more of Cham's work. I do have several addons of Cham's that are great.

[Cham]

If I can find some time (very hard, these days), I'll try to rebuilt the links or to publish new versions of these addons.

[Carl]

Thank you. Just whenever you can. I understand about priorities. I, and I am sure others, appreciate the work that you do.

[john71]

Cham, please do it! These are very important add-ons!

[Danny Lorraine II]

nice job ! however your size comparison addon you were stating about in another thread is not in here . can you add a download link please ? thank you.
